Police State Canada

This video has been featured as the “website of the day” on Counterpunch. 1500 views in two days, so I think it has viral potential. That would certainly be a good thing since a poll just came out claiming that a majority of Canadians “support the actions of the police” at the G20. If the poll is accurate, which is questionable, I attribute this to several factors:

– ignorance of agent provocateurs – media coverage which looped the burning police car footage over and over again, making it look like the whole city was going up in flames – media coverage which downplayed/omitted the most egregious scenes of police brutality/misconduct – a general ignorance about the protesters, their message, and police tactics

This is a dark time for Canada and arguably a turning point in our history as a nation.
